version: "1.0.1" name: webapp-testing description: Web application testing principles. E2E, Playwright, deep audit strategies. allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

Web App Testing

Discover and test everything. Leave no route untested.

🔧 Runtime Scripts

Execute these for automated browser testing:

Script	Purpose	Usage
`scripts/playwright_runner.py`	Basic browser test	`python scripts/playwright_runner.py https://example.com`
	With screenshot	`python scripts/playwright_runner.py <url> --screenshot`
	Accessibility check	`python scripts/playwright_runner.py <url> --a11y`

Requires: pip install playwright && playwright install chromium

1. Deep Audit Approach

Discovery First

Target	How to Find
Routes	Scan app/, pages/, router files
API endpoints	Grep for HTTP methods
Components	Find component directories
Features	Read documentation

Systematic Testing

Map - List all routes/APIs
Scan - Verify they respond
Test - Cover critical paths

2. Testing Pyramid for Web

        /\          E2E (Few)
       /  \         Critical user flows
      /----\
     /      \       Integration (Some)
    /--------\      API, data flow
   /          \
  /------------\    Component (Many)
                    Individual UI pieces

3. E2E Test Principles

What to Test

Priority	Tests
1	Happy path user flows
2	Authentication flows
3	Critical business actions
4	Error handling

E2E Best Practices

Practice	Why
Use data-testid	Stable selectors
Wait for elements	Avoid flaky tests
Clean state	Independent tests
Avoid implementation details	Test user behavior

4. Playwright Principles

Core Concepts

Concept	Use
Page Object Model	Encapsulate page logic
Fixtures	Reusable test setup
Assertions	Built-in auto-wait
Trace Viewer	Debug failures

Configuration

Setting	Recommendation
Retries	2 on CI
Trace	on-first-retry
Screenshots	on-failure
Video	retain-on-failure

5. Visual Testing

When to Use

Scenario	Value
Design system	High
Marketing pages	High
Component library	Medium
Dynamic content	Lower

Strategy

Baseline screenshots
Compare on changes
Review visual diffs
Update intentional changes

6. API Testing Principles

Coverage Areas

Area	Tests
Status codes	200, 400, 404, 500
Response shape	Matches schema
Error messages	User-friendly
Edge cases	Empty, large, special chars

7. Test Organization

File Structure

tests/
├── e2e/           # Full user flows
├── integration/   # API, data
├── component/     # UI units
└── fixtures/      # Shared data

Naming Convention

Pattern	Example
Feature-based	`login.spec.ts`
Descriptive	`user-can-checkout.spec.ts`

8. CI Integration

Pipeline Steps

Install dependencies
Install browsers
Run tests
Upload artifacts (traces, screenshots)

Parallelization

Strategy	Use
Per file	Playwright default
Sharding	Large suites
Workers	Multiple browsers

9. Anti-Patterns

❌ Don't	✅ Do
Test implementation	Test behavior
Hardcode waits	Use auto-wait
Skip cleanup	Isolate tests
Ignore flaky tests	Fix root cause

Remember: E2E tests are expensive. Use them for critical paths only.
